So I've been on this journey for about three years now, and I realized that it was alot of trial and error to get to this point. In the beginning I was a total 'natural nazi' who solely used natural products, counted the number of bad ingredients and other anal things. Now I do whatever I want! Here's some things I've done (hey, rules are meant to be broken):

- Dyed my hair a million colors (blonde, black, red, carrot top, purple, and now the ends are hot pink)
- Use generic styling products including hair grease from the beauty supply, Miss Jessie's, hair spray
- Use gel for every style...no not Eco styler...AMPRO baby!
- Used a curling iron on my straightened hair

Granted I do have healthy practices but I like to have fun as well! What about you, do you break the traditional 'natural hair rules'?

[...]one of the paradoxes of education [is] that precisely at the point when you begin to develop a conscience, you must find yourself at war with your society. It is your responsibility to change society

I dye my hair (if loving you is wrong.. I don't wanna be right) , and when I can't find my big tooth comb I comb out my hair with ...dare I say it a rat tail comb. The natural community is not pleased with me

"Nobody can heal, like you can. Oh most Holy one you are the Great I Am. Awesome in all your ways and mighty is your hand, you are He who carried out redemption's plan. Searched all over, couldn’t find nobody I looked high and low... still couldn't find nobody. Nobody greater than you.”

Not really a natural rule but a general hair rule I have seen the "experts" say is don't condition all the way to the roots. Supposedly the oils from the scalp make this not needed. Somebody forgot to tell my roots that. My roots get really dry if not conditioned and moisturized.

Probably not bad kids but a handful. Just a lot of work with no help so no fairy tale endings.
